Off to the South Pacific

Tonight I'm heading down to Raratonga, the capital of the Cook Islands and the first stop on my 3-month adventure in the South Pacific! I'm going on a studio art program that focuses primarily on printmaking and mixed media drawing, but throughout the entire trip we hike and snorkel and SCUBA and explore! Other places on the agenda are New Zealand (mostly the North Island) and Australia. So yesterday I took a flight from DC to LA, and after a brief visit with my family I am flying south towards summer weather. Internet will be intermittent since I am not bringing my computer (instead I have five homemade sketchbooks and flippers), but I will try to post when I am in larger cities, the first being Auckland sometime early next week. Wishing everyone a most joyful 2013!

PS: Everyone should see South Pacific, the musical! It's grand.
